It seems to me that politics as practiced today has little to do with a
free market economic system.
At any rate, it is not possible to literally sell yourself. You might
say that Bill Clinton was offering his "services" as President to the
American voters. He was not running for Pope. I didn't want these
³services,² but I'm still forced to pay for them, unlike what happens in
a free market.

Yes, they pretended to be a model monogamous couple. But if you believed
that, I hear the Golden Gate Bridge is for sale.

No, because I obviously have an interest in not getting food poisoning.
I have no interest in the President's sex life. Actually, I didn't vote
for Clinton, but it wasn't because he probably lied about various
affairs. I don't consider this sort of lying any kind of big
deal.(Perhaps it was/is to Hillary, but that's her problem.)
I do consider the "big government" interventionist policies of almost
all politicians a big deal, so I don't vote for them for that reason.
Are you saying that candidates are obligated to answer questions about
their sex lives?
> Is the presidency more trivial than a pizza?
The presidency is not trivial, but the extra-marital affairs of Clinton
are.

Really, I'm having trouble following you. Because I'm not concerned
about Clinton's affairs, therefore I'm not concerned about food
poisoning? Come on now!
